Trying this now so no picks of slab. Do you also whip when your raising the temp? Whats your max temp?
Nope. That will take you other places. If you already have nucleation, there is no need to agitate to initiate.
By all means go there, cause hey the boss wants more skus.
So show him someā¦then educate him

Dropping dry ice in your -30 chiller is not an option (or am I supposed to remember that you canāt get that?)?

I am currently going to switch my coolant in the chiller to ethanol. Right now i am running a 50/50 proplyene glyco distilled water mix and the pump is having a hard time pumping due it the viscosity of the fluid. So maybe when i switch to ethanol i will give this a shot. Just waiting it to come in.
Do you do this under vacuum?
it might not like pumping fizzy either. tread slowly. you want to be very gentle with your additions. youāre NOT trying to make a slurry at -78C, youāre trying to assist your chiller down to -40 or -50.
if you do try this, it it absolutely imperative that the coolant has a free path back into the reservoir at all times.
other wise you risk imploding your rig from pressure building up in the jacket.
(you know: something like THIS)
most chillers will have a check valve on the output line, so that coolant doesnāt back flow when the system is shut down. if youāre connecting your system to your chiller with QC fittings, either remove them or donāt try this trick.

No vacuum. Max temp really depends on quality. Highest i want on good material is 105-110Ā°f. Lid on jar. No whip

Using agressive acidic medias like t41 or perform6000 will help yield a harder oil. They strip terpenes more thus making a stabler shatter

No agree whole-heartedly witht his statement. If they wanted terps they would buy something else. As for me im a sauce and batter guy. Love terps. And no i have not tried green eggs and ham.
I have never understood the desire for shatter. Terps aside, it is a pain in the ass to deal with.

I agree but extractors donāt get to dictate which extracts people buy. Since a lot of people are mid-lower class, they buy low-mid grade marijuana products. Itās the same reason you can buy a fifth of whiskey for 10 bucks. Some people like flavor, some people just want to get messed up on what they can afford.
Thereās a lot more wholesale opportunities for shatter from what Iāve seen

yeah, but deliberately wrecking good whiskey so you can sell it really isnāt a thing is it?
mids sell. that doesnāt mean having another shelf above that isnāt a valid business model.
oh shit, this whisky has been sitting around in this old barrel for 25 years, guess we better throw it out because the customers insist on 15 year olds
